My wife did not understand why I sold my 2023 Hybrid to get a much more expensive 2024 Hybrid with 4k towing. For times like these.

Very nice set up. How did it pull the boat out of the water? Guess not issues, correct? I am sure you were happy to have AWD at the boat ramp.

I did not pull it out of the water. My friend left it at my house after the 4th of July and I pulled it up the freeway about 80 miles to him. Went 60-65 mph most of the way except for a few miles of traffic. Got about 25mpg. Also I typed it was a 2024 but it is a 2025.

What is the weight of the boat and trailer? Do you have brakes on your trailer? Cheers

Took the boat out for the first time with the Mav. Total weight is about 2500 lbs. Also with no brakes.
Very impressed with the Mav. Very stable hardly knew there was a boat behind us.
I actually like it better with the Mav compared to my 2017 f150 2.7.

lol.... I don't know why you would feel that way, the 2.7 F150 is a superior tow vehicle in every metric. I had two of them, and while my Mav tows the same rig (~4kLB utility trailer), it's not nearly the drama free event as it was with the F150's.

That's interesting to hear. I'd think an F-150 would make the better tow vehicle except for maybe being harder to maneuver and costing more to operate.
